The average strikeout is probably at least a 5 pitch at bat, and Halladay tends to be a guy who's thrown 100 pitches after facing 30 hitters.

Agreed. Halladay is so freaking good its silly. He's gonna throw three strikes in the first four pitches of every at-bat - the batters know strikes are coming, they just can't do anything with them.
Used to be he'd pitch to weak-contact, but this year he's getting a combo of weak-contact and strikeouts while keeping his pitch count very low.
Silly-good.
DJF* often says the problem with AJ is that he's not Doc. Too true.
